"When it comes to feeding, we're inviting pet parents to go beyond the bowl," says Chief Marketing Officer Michael Parness.

"Combining our signature safety and innovation with some playful new gear designs, we came up with the Pal Pak™ and Fun Fish™ Life Jacket," says Outward Hound® Founder & Chief Woof Officer Kyle Hansen.
